"THE RISING GENERATION"
A comedy playlet is an attrac
tive turn, featuring Keating &
Ross. Miss Keating is a charming
little actress and the two are
pleasing in song and lively con
versation. It is an act designed
for summer entertainment and
fills the bill admirably. Keating
ft Ross, one vivacious and blase,
the other of the Charlie Ray type,
give the audience a lively half
hour with a musical melange. Es
pecially good in their disposition
of modern love making methods
compared with those which found
favor last century; At the Bligh

HARRY SMIRL, "The Talky
Tumbler" should prove a delight
to the kiddies as well as the old
er folks. This clever tumbler
does a routine of ground tumbling
that Is sensationally fast and dar
ing. . His bones seem to be made
of rubber for regardless of posi
tion or height,' he comes up smil
ing, and his acrobatic dancing
should make him a solid hit on
this bill. At the Bligh today.

present a novelty shooting - act.
This act surpassesall acts of this
nature. Has to be seen to be ap
preciated. : Mr. Edwards does
such shots as shooting through a
lady's wedding ring, splitting
cords edgewise, lighting matches
and other shots too numerous to
mention. Miss Edwards is also
expert with rifle. Rifles used in
Mr. Edward's act are Remington,
While playing this city, they
would be pleased to meet experts
in shooting. At the Bligh today.

was too fascinated by the scene
to leave. , It seemed more like a
scene fron a motion picture, she

the passions of his listeners and

the Friedrichstrasse corner. A
physician was examining' her as
she recovered consciousness., .. .
"You're all Tight,"; said the
physician, vi can't find any,,trace
of a bullet."
" The actress had hot been shot
rat all. What she had taken for the
impact of a bullet in her shoulder,
was a sharp dig with a cane. Her
lively Imagination, coupled with
the sense of terror In ; fleeing,
from, the flying bullets, had at
pnce : translated the pain Into a
bullet and caused her to faint.
It ia imagination like this that
makes great actresses great; they
can Imagine a thing so strongly
that it seems true, for t lie time
being at ' least. This quality of
great imagination Is shown forces
fully In the new Pola Negri pic
ture, "Mad Love, which Is going
to rank with "Passion" as the
greatest film work the Polish star
has yet done.

It sounds incredibly, but It actu
ally took place recently in Holly
wood, thanks to the wonders of
science, and the ingenuity of the
group of men responsible for the
screen adaptation of "Main
Street," from the best seller novel
of Sinclair Lewis.
' The science was represented .by
10 huge wind machines. . The en
tire set of "Main Street" was cov
ered with white sand, tons of salt
and a composition which made It
glisten like the real thing.
, During the winter . carnival
scene, in which over 1,000 extras
participated, there was erected a
huge ski slide which .was covered
with ice -by freezing the same (as

pond a frozen over. -On this, pro
